in this research a three dimensional model is explained which simulate the oil spill behavior inseas. this model is the developed version of previous two-dimensional study of aghajanloo et al., 2013.because of three-dimensional nature of the oil dispersion/movement in water, this is a more realistic model of oil spill transport and fate in marine environment. the model is based on eulerian appr...

[1] How to reduce the horizontal pressure gradient error is a key issue in terrain-following coastal models. The horizontal pressure gradient splits into two parts, and incomplete cancellation of the truncation errors of those parts cause the error. Use of the finite volume discretization leads to a conserved scheme for pressure gradient computation that has better truncation properties with hi...
